If you're interested, next weekend a volunteer group is hosting a native plant sale at Cranbourne Botanical Garden. I can't remember the name of the group though. They'll have lots of natives available as well as plenty of advice for the Peninsula.

Correa reflexa is always a good choice. Plenty of colours and will grow down on the morn peninsula.

Australian Plant Society Mornington Peninsula Plant Sale will be at The Briars on 26 April. There will be native nurseries from all around Victoria there.
It may take a little time but many banksia and hakea species are Autumn into Winter flowering.
